For each band, only those license classes with privileges on that band
are listed. Technician licensees have no privileges below 30 MHz.

US Amateur Transmitter
Power Limits

At all times, transmitter power must be the minimum necessary to carry
out the desired communications. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum power
output is 1500 watts PEP. All classes are limited to 200 watts PEP in the
80, 40, and 15 meter Novice/Technician Plus subbands. Geographical power
restrictions apply to the 70 cm, 33 cm and 23 cm bands; see The FCC Part
97 for details.

The FCC has granted hams secondary access on USB only to five
discrete 2.8-kHz-wide channels. Amateurs can not cause inference
to and must accept interference from the Primary Government users. The NTIA
says that hams planning to operate on 60 meters "must assure that their
signal is transmitted on the channel center frequency." This means that
amateurs should set their carrier frequency 1.5 kHz lower than the
channel center frequency.

General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes:

Amateur Tuning Frequency / Channel Center

5332 kHz /5330.5 kHz

5348 kHz/5346.5 kHz

5368 kHz/5366.5 kHz

5373 kHz/5371.5 kHz

5405 kHz (common US/UK)/5403.5 kHz

Amateurs may use USB only with a maximum
effective radiated power (ERP) of 50 W. Radiated power must not exceed
the equivalent of 50 W PEP transmitter output power into an antenna with
a gain of 0 dBd.

Note: Phone and Image modes are permitted between
7.075 and 7.100 MHz for FCC licensed stations in ITU Regions 1
and 3 and by FCC licensed stations in ITU Region 2 West of 130 degrees
West longitude or south of 20 degrees North latitude. See Section 97.307(f)(11).
Novice and Technician Plus licensees outside ITU Region 2 may use CW only
between 7.050 and 7.075 MHz. See Section 97.301(e). These exemptions
do not apply to stations in the continental US.

The FCC has allocated 219-220 MHz to amateur
use on a secondary basis. This allocation is only for fixed digital message
forwarding systems operated by all licensees except Novices. Amateur operations
must not cause interference to, and must accept interference from, primary
services in this and adjacent bands. Amateur stations are limited to 50
W PEP output and 100 kHz bandwidth. Automated Maritime Telecommunications
Systems (AMTS) stations are the primary occupants in this band. Amateur
stations within 398 miles of an AMTS station must notify the station in
writing at least 30 days prior to beginning operations. Amateur stations
within 50 miles of an AMTS station must get permission in writing from
the AMTS station before beginning operations. The FCC requires that amateur
operators provide written notification including the station's geographic
location to the ARRL for inclusion in a database at least 30 days before
beginning operations. See Section 97.303(e) of the FCC Rules.
